For Clients

For clients who wish to hire an in-house lawyer or who are seeking advice on legal salaries, market trends or simply want to discuss possible hiring options, then Taylor Root is perhaps the best placed firm to speak to. Established in the 1980's, Taylor Root has long been recognised as the leading In-house legal recruitment firm in most of the jurisdictions within which it operates, including the UK and Continental Europe, The Middle and Far East and Australia. With close to thirty five specialist consultants situated across the globe focusing specifically on the in-house market, we are able to share unrivalled market knowledge and expertise with our clients on almost every aspect of the in-house legal market, globally. When combined with our extensive network of candidates and a database that has been built over twenty years, it is no surprise that our success rate with mandates which we undertake is second to none.

Our aim has always been to develop long – term business relationships with our clients by providing honest, commercial and informed advice. Today, a large proportion of our clients are companies and banks whom we have worked with for several years. Candidates whom we placed as junior lawyers are now themselves General Counsel who we continue to work closely with. Our intention is to build up a detailed knowledge and understanding, both of our client and their organisation, that over time translates into a seamless hiring process requiring minimal input from the client.

Each of our consultants, managers or partners is, in most cases, a qualified lawyer themselves and has worked for one of a number of top City firms including Clifford Chance, Allen & Overy, Travers Smith, Berwin Leighton Paisner, SJ Berwin, Norton Rose and Freshfields. Each individual specialises in a specific sector of the in-house market ensuring he or she has a detailed knowledge of the sector and the market.

We are able to offer a full spectrum of hiring solutions to our clients which includes conducting detailed research of the market place and identifying suitable candidates to approach, utilising a database that is widely recognised as unrivalled in terms of both quality and quantity of candidates, networking with a vast array of lawyers, at all levels, whom we either know or work with, and offering full recruitment advertising in all the relevant legal media, both online and in printed.
